To obtain the relevant data, the scientists used a high-resolution model called IMAGE-GNM, which has the ability to reproduce the geochemical cycles of nutrients. Thus, the analysis showed that all the studied river basins have accumulated a significant amount of nitrogen, and if in the Rhine it was 1.8 million tonnes, for the Mississippi, in turn, this figure reached already 32 million.

As noted in the publication, the summer “dead” zone, which will be larger than average in size, will cover an area of about 15 thousand square kilometres and endanger marine life in the area. It is noted that these areas, also known as hypoxic areas, are areas with a significant lack of oxygen in the water, which can lead to massive fish kills and also endanger other marine life.
These “dead zones” appear every summer, but this year they should be particularly large. Their appearance is triggered by excess nutrients in the water amid human activity in the Mississippi and Atchafalaya River watershed. In May, the U.S. Geological Survey reported that discharges into these rivers were 5 percent higher than the average for the period from 1980 to 2023.
